Abstract

We study monopole operators with the lowest possible topological charge q=1/2q=1/2 at the infrared fixed point of scalar electrodynamics in 2+12+1 dimension (scalar QED3_3) with NN complex scalars and Chern-Simons coupling k=N|k|=N. In the large NN expansion, monopole operators in this theory with spins <O(N)\ell<O(\sqrt{N}) and associated flavor representations are expected to have the same scaling dimension to sub-leading order in 1/N1/N. We use the state-operator correspondence to calculate the scaling dimension to sub-leading order with the result N0.2789+O(1/N)N-0.2789+O(1/N), which improves on existing leading order results. We also compute the 2/N\ell^2/N term that breaks the degeneracy to sub-leading order for monopoles with spins =O(N)\ell=O(\sqrt{N}).
